Bound Spirit | Chained Spirit

NAME: Bound Spirit ELEMENT: Death COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 3 | 5 TEXT: What Bound Spirit loses in Health, it gains in Attack.	NAME: Chained Spirit ELEMENT: Death COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 3 | 7 TEXT: What Bound Spirit loses in Health, it gains in Attack.

ART: Darkrobe IDEA: Darkrobe NOTES: I just thought this was an interesting idea. A creature that gains attack when it loses health. Some of you might be wondering about the thematic: This "spirit" is forced to attack for you because it is bound to the battle field. It doesnt really have HP because it is already dead. What someone does when they attack this creature is that they loosen the bonds holding it to the field. As its bonds get weaker, it can move around and attack better and is thus stronger, but once the chains are destroyed it flees, cause it didnt want to be there in the first place. It is resistant to, but can also combo with, CC. so for example if unupped is hit with shockwave (-0|-4) it will gain 4 attack and be a 7|1 creature. SERIES:

rage potion makes the upped pretty strong.

[darkrobe]

Yah. Turns the upped into a 15|1 creature for 5  and 3  .

Is that Op? I can always mess with the health to make that combo more expensive or more difficult to pull off.

Yah. Turns the upped into a 15|1 creature for 5  and 3  .

9|1, surely?

Upped Ghost Of The Past is 9|4 for 7 .

The boosts occur separately, so it's effectively doubling the effect of rage potion.

Of course, yes.

[darkrobe]

so is that good synnergy? or bad balance?

[Rutarete]

Well, it's like Ruby Dragon (small Hp difference). I think the 1 Hp makes it vulnerable enough to be balanced.

Just noticed also that Overdrive makes a good combo too.

celestial tiger did this better, imo.

I hadnt seen celestial tiger (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,8385.msg104312#msg104312). that card is pretty polished. even though its not exactly the same, i can see what you mean about doing it better.

do you think this card is not worth polishing up though?

-2hp and an irrelevant element shift from a forge archived idea is not a significant change.

[darkrobe]

well, you win some you lose some.

Sometimes you think you have a new card and later find out it was done better in a different theme. lol
